The Gassers are quite simply one of the earliest modified cars which held a categorized class at drag racing events. These cars ranged from daily driven cars to drag race only cars supercharger equipped. The original gasser body styles selected became popular on the race track simply due to their availability or inversely for their unpopularity at Saturday night cruise events or as a household family car. As the cars became popular, the sport as a whole grew. Match races were held nearly every day of the week all over the country with ‘big names’ scheduled for appearances. The Gasser craze helped guide the sport to sponsorship through the incorporation of engine component manufacturers selecting teams to use and promote their speed equipment. In summary, these short wheel based cars with high horsepower and ground shaking wheelstanding launches established drag racing legacy with near out of control ¼ mile full throttle passes. This article touches briefly what the early gasser days represented without going into detail on specific gasser legends and all of their colored history. Much of that is found on many other website and captured in books.

Tomorrow is the big day! The show will go on, rain, shine, or even smoke. So if you feel comfortable doing so feel free to swing by. Show runs from 9-3 with music, food, some new vendors, and of course lots of cool rides! Registration table will be located in the office and there will be some awards given out to the class winners (voted on by spectators and participants)

As with most years we will be using the west entrance to bring cars into the show and there will be team members directing traffic to help get everyone parked. Even if you don’t have a car to enter in the show we still encourage you to come out and we will have a designated lot for spectator parking.

We hope to see you all there tomorrow for a great day of car show fun! 😎
